Buckley, Mich, High School track coach Ken Wicker looks down after placing a rose on a lone set of starting blocks before a 59.5 second silence in honor of Haley Baldinger during an April 7 track meet. Baldinger, who died in a car accident on April 1, held the school record in the 400 meters, in which no one competed in her honor.

17-year old Haley Baldinger, a senior at Buckley High School in Michigan, was killed in a car crash last Friday morning driving home from spring break.

Buckley Schools Superintendent Rick Heitmeyer told local news website UpNorthLive that "Haley was a great kid. She was a leader in the school, she was in National Honor Society, yearbook, and she was a superstar at volleyball, basketball, and track."
